PromoTheRobot Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 (edited) Buff Biz First Getting moved to the web is not quite the death sentence it used to be. I listen to radio over my phone in my car all the time. What is sad is the two live DJs on the Lake are getting canned. It's really unfair because the Lake pulled some of the best ratings (around a 3.0) that frequency ever got, better even than sports WNSA. BTW this is happening because Cumulus Broadcasting bought Citadel, merging two of the largest Buffalo radio clusters. That story went on to say that the Sabres would not be simulcast on 107.7. That is a missed opportunity because WGR night signal dies east of Transit Rd. 107.7's coverage is enormous to the south and east, a lot of area that doesn't get Sabres PBP. I have hunch that Terry Pegula will buy his own station eventually. PTR Edited April 6, 2011 by PromoTheRobot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Jim Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 That sucks because I love listening to that station in the car when I visit. My car is where I listen to the most music. That's why the sound system was the most important part of my recent car purchase. The sound system is incredible and actually has a hard drive so I can download tons of music on it.

Peace Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 I haven't listened to AM or FM radio in years. Maybe the occasional rental car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thisistheyear Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Buff Biz First BTW this is happening because Cumulus Broadcasting bought Citadel, merging two of the largest Buffalo radio clusters. PTR Entercom owns wlkk. Cummulus does not currently own Buffalo radio stations. And the lakes ratings were rarely above a one in any demo that matters.

sullim4 Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Pandora/Slacker radio + smartphone with data plan + AUX jack on the car = no need for terrestrial radio anymore! Slacker will even add DJs and hourly news updates if you want them to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
